From Publishers Weekly
Jones (Jesus, CEO) believes in conducting business and simultaneously satisfying one's spiritual needs. Biblical and real-life stories advocate religious faith and bestow practical advice. For example, Jones recommends undertaking difficult activities with a fresh approach (she made the most of a tedious seminar by pretending she was a reporter). Past success and an extensive author tour should help win her considerable sales. Agent, Mary Ann Naples. (Apr.) Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Booklist
Jones has made a name for herself adapting biblical scriptures to the workplace and the world of business. Jesus, CEO: Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership (1995) was a best-seller that exhorted managers to emulate the leadership style of Jesus. Jesus in Blue Jeans (1997) held Christ up as an everyday role model. Now Jones reasserts her conviction that it is possible to earn a comfortable living and still promote one's spiritual and personal beliefs. Increasing dissatisfaction with the workplace, growing numbers of "downsized" workers hoping to start their own enterprises, the Internet, and an apparent rising newfound desire by many to contribute something meaningful to society have all helped create a new kind of businessperson Jones has dubbed the "spiritreneur." It is potential "spiritreneurs" she hopes to inspire with this collection of sermonettes that are based on biblical passages and that Jones uses to illustrate basic business principles. David Rouse
